Deleting Multiple Objects via REST API

[CrazySliva]

Good afternoon. Is it possible to delete multiple objects not through a method that requires a unique ID?
For example, I want to delete all virtual machines belonging to cluster 4 :

curl -s -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://yourdomain.com/api/virtualization/virtual-machines/?cluster=4

Bulk deletion via the REST API requires a unique ID to protect against race conditions, wherein the attributes of some objects are modified immediately prior to the deletion request. This approach ensures that only the explicitly identified objects will be deleted.

What are the workarounds for solving this case?
I've tried the following method:

1. Unloaded all virtual machines belonging to cluster 4 to a file.
   curl -X GET "https://yourdomain.com/api/virtualization/virtual-machines/?cluster=4" -H "Accept: application / json; indent=4" -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" > temp.json

2. I tried to delete virtual machines
   curl -s -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://yourdomain.com/api/virtualization/virtual-machines/ --data @temp.json

But nothing happened, although the temp.json file contains the "id" of the field.

If you really want to do this, you probably need to transform the JSON data with a tool like jq. For example:

jq "[.results[] | {id}]" temp.json > temp_id.json

Then use the transformed data as the input to your bulk delete, rather than the original output.

Thanks a lot! I wish you many rays of goodness.
